Worth a Second Look

Who is
the fuehrer?

REWIND.
This clip has been kicking around for years now, re-captioned whenever
some new disaster strikes the political scene. When Eduardo tossed this
version into the Comments section, I didn't even watch it. Until today.

Now I think it's interesting. Why? Because 'Hitler' isn't Obama, which
is what I'd assumed before I watched. He's someone else. Who? Maybe the
editor or publisher of The New York
Times. Maybe Harry Reid. Or George Soros. All of which means
we're being asked to identify the real
left-wing power structure that's pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Besides which, the captioning is spot-on: deft, clever, and beautifully
timed. It's a keeper, this one.

Part of my resistance had to do with the inefficacy of the Hitler
analogy. Yes, I know that Hitler's national socialism was more left
than right, but nobody knows anything anymore, and I guess I've been
willing to live with that. Which leads me to a second Second Look
recommendation. Glenn Beck's documentary "The
Revolutionary Holocaust."
I didn't tune in. To me it was all old, old, old. Good that Beck is
educating himself about the most horrifying leftist regimes of the
twentieth century, but anybody who pretends he doesn't know how it was
is just lying to himself and everyone else, right?

Wrong. I should have known. The people who wear the Che
tee-shirts have NO idea. Beck is right. The glaring, inescapable
truth about these regimes has been suppressed, even at Harvard, Yale,
and Berkeley. Soooooooooo depressing. But true. Thank you, Glenn Beck.
What's that saying about how a child shall lead them? Can't remember
it. But dead on in this case. DEAD on.

Even if you think you know the history, watch "The
Revolutionary Holocaust." All of it. Then email the links to all
the other people you know you
think know the history. Admit right up front that Glenn Beck is a
maniac. Then tell them to watch it anyway.

Like I'm doing here. You see, it's not as hard as it seems. Even a
maniac can perform a public service. Like Glenn Beck just did.
